<id>cec3c159f674367def095745a72ac6150f889243</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5eb46851de3904cd1be9192fdacb8d34deadc1fc upstream.

cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc
issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST
sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps:

step  1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not
		    linked with a cic for the device
step  3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context()

step  4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the
		    same ioc
step  6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a
		    cic for the device yet

step  7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
step  8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it

step  9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
		    But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel
		    message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7.
step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait()
		    The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the
		    device.

When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic.
So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

commit 2984ff38ccf6cbc02a7a996a36c7d6f69f3c6146 upstream.

If we fail allocating the blkpg stats, we free cfqd and cfgq.
But we need to free the IDA cfqd-&gt;cic_index as well.

<title>cfq-iosched: fix locking around ioc-&gt;ioc_data assignment</title>

<id>ab4bd22d3cce6977dc039664cc2d052e3147d662</id>
<content type='text'>
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold
the lock protecting it around it.

This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq
io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long
time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed
to see it a lot.

Tracked in RH bugzilla here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577968

Credit goes to Paul Bolle for figuring out that the issue
was around the one-hit ioc-&gt;ioc_data cache. Thanks to his
hard work the issue is now fixed.

The 'group_changed' variable is initialized to 0 and never changed, so
checking the variable is meaningless.

It is a leftover from 0bbfeb832042 ("cfq-iosched: Always provide group
iosolation."). Let's get rid of it.
